Preview: ‘Pin’ Remake article

Filed a story for Rue Morgue yesterday about a forthcoming remake of the Canadian masterpiece Pin (1988). My thanks to director Sandor Stern and screenwriter Jack Reher for talking to me about their ambitious goal to bring this story to a wider audience. There’s even a comic book tie-in in the works.

For those who haven’t had the opportunity to see the original starring David Hewlett and Terry O’Quinn, you really owe it to yourself as a horror fan to check it out.

Though I remember it being fairly difficult to get a few years ago, it’s now pretty widely available. If you’re in the U.S. and have access to Netflix, you can get it either on DVD or via their Watch Instantly service. For my money, this remains one of the eeriest movies in horror. There’s not a lot of blood shed, but the creepy factor is through the roof.
